Yes, but the nouveau in F10 is rather a long way behind what's in F11. However, if you want to try it in F10, install the relevant package (xorg-x11-drv-nouveau), create an xorg.conf, and change Driver "nv" to Driver "nouveau". You may also need to stick a line: modprobe nouveau in /etc/rc.local, I'm not 100% sure about that. If your work laptop can boot from a live CD, just grab the test day live CD (linked from the Wiki page) and give it a try with that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
